Hardware Support for Direct3D 10Level9 Formats

This section specifies the formats (DXGI_FORMAT values) that are supported in Direct3D 9 hardware via Direct3D 10Level9, which means that a Direct3D 9–class
(or better) video card implements hardware acceleration for a resource that contains data in one of those particular
formats. Those formats whose support is specified as optional, might or might not be hardware accelerated. Each subsection specifies the formats that Direct3D 9 hardware supports for a specific format target. A format target is a resource type, an HLSL
intrinsic function, or a particular functionality that is dependent on a particular format. If a section indicates that a format isn't supported for a format target, the format might not even be compatible with the format target.
